Franz Kafka Lost in Fame

Pavel Šimák / Czech Republic / 2024 / World Premiere / 73 min.


synopsis

This is a 73-minute version of the film, which, in comparison to the TV version, focuses more on the biographical line of Franz Kafka's life, demythologizing his legacy, and also looks at Kafka's legacy in the field of contemporary artistic phenomenon, including examples of the work of David Lynch, Andy Warhol and other prominent artists. The documentary has more momentum and a gradual narrative, and in particular many of the world discoveries we come up with.
